CHANGE-MAKING MACHINE Application led flarch 19, 1924. Serial No. 700,213.

This invention relates to multiple fare collecting and change making machines and while the embodiment herein illust-rated is described as being utilized primarily for collecting fares on motive vehicles, vit is to be understood that the invention is not limited to such use, as it will be readily manifest from the following description and the accompanying drawings that it has numerous l0 other kindred uses and applications, and that it is capable of being used solely as a machine for making change. v

The invention has to do with a simple and kimproved machine of the above character which is not only capable of receiving the exact fare, but which will return the necessary change whenever a passenger drops a coin therein of a denomination or value higher than the price of such fare, and for the purposes of elucidating the principles of my invention, the preferred embodiment illustrated and described is designed upon a five cent fare basis; conseuently the change returned, if any, is either ve cents or a multiple thereof.

One of the more important features of the present invention is the provision l of improved mechanism for receiving one or a multiple of fares from a coin deposited in the machine, in combination with improved mechanism employed in connection therewith for registering on a single counter the exact number of fares taken from said coin, or, more broadly stated, for registering the net amount of cash received in or collected by the machine.

It is important in a machineV of this char-V dle has been-actuated. This prevents tampering by unauthorized persons. Where a ten cent piece has been deposited, it will register one or two fares, but if only one fare is collected from the coin, the proper amount of change will be returned. It will, of course, be understood that when the exact fare is deposited (in this case a five cent piece) no change will be returned, and incidentally no change mechanism will be actuated, but that the receipt of the same will be properly registered. The machine is equipped with improved manually operated means, preferably on the top thereof, for controlling or determining the number of fares to be collected from any particular coin of a higher denomination than that of the exact fare charged.

In the preferred embodiment of my invention illustrated and described herein, the coins utilized for making change comprises preferably only five and twenty-five cent pieces, as that reduces very materially the bulk of the machine as compared with a ma, chine embodying the same principles, and which utilizes only one coin or a different group of coins for making change. On the kother hand, this enables the mechanism to be reduced to a much simpler form, as compared With a machine embodying the same principles and which is equipped to return more than the stated number of change coins. However, it will be readil apparent that the invention is not limited7 in this respect to they specific form hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, nor is it to be understood that the invention is to be limited to a form of machine capable of receiving only a five cent fare. In short, the principles are the same irrespective of the number of coins utilized for making change, and irrespective of the fare charged.

In a machine which utilizes only the five and twenty-five cent pieces in making change, I have found it to be inconvenient to carry in the change box the necessary supply of five cent pieces to make change particularly over long routes or where the traffic is heavy. Accordingly I have devid means "n Cil ` the'. return of the coin deposited.

automatically 'actuated from the operating crank to utilize for change making purposes all, if necessary, of the tive cent pieces deposited by the passengers in payment of their fares. The improvements in this regard are `considered as among the more important features of my invention.

One of the serious objections heretofore of all coin operated machines, is the fraudulent use made of the same by the deposit therein of slugs and spurious coins. This objection is entirelyovercome in this machine for the reason that any slug or spurious coin dropped into the coin chute maybe readilyrreturned or rejected by the operator wthout'interfer'- ing in theleastwithy the receiving of the genuine coins deposited. In keeping with'the foregoing mechanism is providedy under the control of the Vc )perator for directing the coins in said chute at will either into a passageway leading the same to an operative position in the machine, or into a passageway to enable And in case the coins are returned I have provided means for making a register thereof, and another important feature of my invention re-V sides in the simple mechanism which l have devised for effecting the return of spurious coins in combination with 4the registering mechanism associated therewith. o

InF-igures l to. 19 `inclusive I have illustrated in suicient detail the; necessary mechanism for enabling any one skilled in this art to build a machine for the specific purpose of collecting fares, charges, etc. In Figures 20 and v21 l have illustrated hQW the Same machine be, employed for the sole Purpese of making Charge.; vThe. construction il:

lustrated in Figures 1 to 19 inclusive willbe first described. 1

The description will be more readily followed it it is borne in mind some ot the more important featuresof construction and operation of the machine as a whole. The invention, among other things, comprises (l) means for enabling the coins to be-examined; (2)l mechanism to enable spurious coins or slugs to be rejected; (3) mechanism for enabling the radmission of the coins into operative position in the machine; (4) mechanism controlled by the diameter of the coin deposited for determining the amount of change to be returned irrespective of the denomination of the coin; (5) setting mechanism for collecting a predetermined number of tai-es irrespective of the size of the coin deposited; (6) a single counter common to the different denominations of coins deposited for registering the number of fares collected; (7) change ejector mechanism common to vthe coins of different denominations; and (8) mechanism utilized by coins deposited for change making. And it may be stated at this point that after the deposit of a genuine coin it is only necessary to actuate the operating crank 137 to return the appropriate change, except where a plurality of fares are to be collected from a particular coin in which case the arm 157 is also adjusted along the sector 160. The arm 157, however, is returned to its normal position, indicated in Fig. 8, after each crank operation. Y Y

Referring to the drawings in detail the reference numeral 10 designates the front portion, 11 and 12- the side portions, 13 the rear portion and 14 the top portion of a suitable casing or housing in which the mechanism is enclosed. Access may be had to the interior ot this casing in any desired way, but in the embodiment illustrated I prefer for that purpose that the rear portion 13 be removably connected to the side portions 11 and 12, and to that end it is removably held in fixed position to the side portions by means of suitable locking mechanism illustrated at 15. See Fig. 6. The housing is provided with a bottom 16 (see Fig. 7) and adjacent to but above-the same is a horizontal platform or partition 17 extending entirely across the casing and serves to support certain parts of the mechanism. Between the bottom 16 and the platform 17 is located an inclined coin chute 18 (see Fig. 7). The tive cent change pieces discharged through the opening 19, the twent 7-five cent change pieces discharged through the opening 20, and the rejected slugs from the passageway 21 tall into this chute. The various coins and change falling on to the inclined chute 18 slide down the same by gravity into a receptacle 22, which is accessible to the passenger being located, as it is, exterior to the housing.

Referring now more particularly to Figs. 1,

2 and 3, a coin of any denomination, deposited by the passenger into the slot 23, falls into a Chute 24, strikes the upper inclined surface of the gate member 25, and rolls down said surface until it impinges against a lever 26 which is provided with a shoulder 27 upon which normally rests one end of said gate member 25. The engagement of the coin deposited into the chute 24 with the spring pressed lever 26, due to the momentum ot said coin, moves said lever 26 to the left thereby releasing the gate member 25 after which the latter automatically assumes the position illustrated in'Fig. 16. The gate member remains in this position until it is restored to normal position by the subsequent operation of the machine, as will presently be described. This movement ot the member 25 is effected by means of a suitable spring 28, one end of which is attached to the lower end of the member 25 and the other end of which is suitably secured to the front wall of the casing of the machine. The movement ot the member 25 from the position illustrated in Fig. 1 to the position illustrated in 16 enables the coin deposited to assume one of the four positions a, b, c, d depending upon whether or not it is a fifty, twenty-five, ve or ten cent piece respectively. At the same time the end 29 oi. the lever 25 temporarily closes the opening or slot 23 against the deposit of any more coins. Adjacent the coin slot 23 is an abutment 30 which serves to limit the movement of the member 25 about its pivotal point 31 as a center. See Fig. 16. Opposite the coin positions a, b, c and d the front wall 1() is provided with a transparent member 32 to enable the operator to ascertain whether or not the coins deposited are spurious or genuine. It is beveled to fit a correspondingly shaped beveled opening in the wall 10 and is held in position by means of a plate 33 (see Fig. 6). The coin chute 24 di'verges into a passageway 21 through which the spurious coins or slugs are adapted to be ejected from the machine and also into a chute 34 through which the genuine coins deposited may be received into operative position in the machine. It the coin deposited is a spurious one, that is a slug, the manually actuated lever 35 is pressed downwardly which moves the arm 36 in a clockwise direction thus enabling the slug deposited to be admitted to the chute 21 and also enabling the particular slug to assume one of the tour positions a', b, c', d depending upon whether it is of the size of a fifty, twenty-tive, five or a ten cent piece respectively. From any one of these positions the slug is ejected from the machine by mechanism which will be described in further detail later on. The lever 35 and arm 36 are constructed to operate in unison about the common pivot 37 as a center and are automatically returned to normal position after the release of the lever 35 by means of a spring 38.

machine. Obviously the stamped member may be made in one or a plurality of sections.

If the coin deposited into the chute 24 proves upon examination to be genuine it is then caused to move to the positions a2, b2, c2

Vand (Z2 depending upon whether or not it is a ifty, twenty-five, five or a ten cent piece respectively. It will be seen from Fig. 1 that in the positions a, b, c and d the coin rests not.

only upon the arm 36 previously described but upon a second gate Vmember 42 sliding in a groove 43 in the front wall of the machine. When the gate member 42 is moved to the Vright,viewed from Fig. 1, the coin deposited is free to move from one of theifour positions a, b, c, d to one of the four positions a2,

. b2, 02, (Z2 respectively. rFrom the foregoing it will be clearly apparent that upon the movement of the arm 36l as previously de- Y scribed the gate member 42 serves to deflect the coin from the chute 24 into the chute 2l, and that upon the movement of the gate member 42 the arm 36 serves to deflect'the coin from the chute 24 into the chute 34. The

,i mechanism for moving the gate member 42 to enable the discharge of the coins from the chute 24 down the chute 34 to the positions a2, 52, c2 and Z2 will now be described. Y

The slide member 42 is equipped with a laterallyjprojecting stud. 44 and pivotally mountedtothe inte-rior front wall of the machine is a lever 45 one end of which is adapted to engage the stud l44 and upon the opposite end of which is pivotally mounted a pawl member 46, the lower endA of which pawl member normally rests against a stud 47 011 the lever 45 and the other end o which, in

normal position, is in the path of a stud 48 mounted upon the vertically reciprocating slide 49 which is guided in its upward and downward movement by means of a guide 50 rigidly secured to the interior of the front wall of the casing. When the reciprocating member 49lis moved downward by mechanism which will be presently described the stud 48 engages the outer end of the pawl 46 with a result that a clockwise movement is imparted to the'lever 45 around its pivotalpoint as a center, and thus by contact of the said lever with the stud 44 4onthe slide member'42, the latter will be moved within Vthe vgroove 43'and withdraw from the coinway 34 to enable the coin deposited to pass from the chute 24 to the said chute 34. The slide 49 is held in its uppermost or normal position by means of i the spring 5l asclearly illustrated in Fig. 1.

It is moved downwardly, however, by means of a lever 52, whose actuation will be de-V scribed in detail below, and upon which is mounted a laterally projecting stud 53 nor-V mally engaging with a rearwardly projecting stud 54V located upon the said slide 49. The downward movement of the lever 52 kwill impart a downward movement to the slide mem-jY ber 49 to actuate the gate member 42 as pre-- viously described. This slide member V49, however, has other duties to `perform and these will now be described. in detail.

To theupper portion of the gate member 25 is pivoted one end of a link 55, the other end of which is pivotally connected at 5,6 to

one arm 57 of a bell crank lever, the other arm 58 of which, while the gate member 25 is closed, is in the path of a lug l59 projecting rearwardly from the slide member 49. When, thev gate member 25 is closed it will be seen from Fig. 16 that upon the downward movement of the slide member 49, the arm 578 of the bell crank lever 57--58 will b e engaged by the projection 59 and restore the gate member 25 to the lnormal position illustrated in F igil, that is to say, to the position where the lower end of the gate member 25engages -the shoulder 27 of the spring pressed memfv ber 26. However, it will be understood from the construction illustrated that the restoration of the gate member 25 to thenormal position illustrated in Fig. 1 must not'be effected until after the coin ,is discharged from one of the positions'a, Z9, c, el to one of the positions a2, 52,7072, cl2. 'Y It may be stated at this point that the lever 26 is equipped with an arm 60 normally held in contacty by a spring 6l with a stud 62. The momentumV of the coin in sufficient to overcome the tension of the spring 61 and thus release the gate member 25. The gate member 42 is restored to its normal position illustrated in Fig. 1 in the following manner.V Upon the downward movement of the slide 49 the stud 48 thereon, as above stated, engages with the outer end of the pawl 46 causing said outer end to describe an arc of a circle the center of which is the pivotal axis of the lever 45thus enabling the pawl to be withdrawn romoperative engagement with'the stud 48 and also A enabling the spring 631to restore said gate member 42 as well as the lever 45 to normalV position. It may be stated at this point that upon the return movement of. the slide member 49 to normal position the stud 48 will cam the pawl 46 in a counter-clockwise direc-y tion about its pivotal point as, a center and out of its path. A suitable spring 64-is employed to maintain the lower end of the pawl 46 normally in Contact with the stud V4'? of the lever 45 and therefore-the outer end norree mally in the locus of the stud 48 for reasons i which have been described. Y

As before stated the deposit of the coin into the machine if accepted ultimately as- ".1,

sumes one of the four positions a2, b2, cz and d2 and when in this position the coin controls or determines the amount of change to be returned through mechanism about to be described. It is understood, of course, that it a i'ive cent piece is deposited no change will be returned. One of the more important features of my invention comprises mechanism common to all of the coins and controlled by the latter for determining the amount of change to be returned in accordance with the different diameters of the coins deposited. Located in juxtaposition to the slide 49 is an upwardly and downwardly reciprocating gauge which is controlled in its movement by screws 66 anchored in the front wall 10 and which pass through slots 67 in said gauge. The upper portion of this gauge 65 is provided with a lateral projection 68. The downward movement of the gauge 65 by mechanism which will be described later on, causes the projection 68 thereon to engage the coin located in one of the positions a2, b2 and c2. It will be observed that the position d2 for the ten cent piece deposited is at a point down the chute 34 somewhat beyond the positions a2, b2 and c2. For that reason the gauge 65 is provided with a second projection 69 adapted to engage with and be limited in its downward movement by the ten cent piece when the latter is in its operative position d2. The lower end of the gauge is equipped with a horizontal barrel 7() in which is movably mounted a spring pressed plunger 71. If therel is a fifty cent piece deposited in the position a2 this so determines the limit of the downward movement of the gauge 65 that the position ofthe plunger 71 will be as indicated at a3 in Fig. 12. The normal position, however, of the plunger 71 is clearly indicated in Fig. 1 and at m in Fig. 12. When in the a3 position the movement of the plunger 71 by means of the finger 72 of a horizontally actuatedarm 7 3 will impart a movement to said plunger in the direction of the arrow o which in turn will impart a predetermined movement to the slide member 74, slide member and slide member 76. The slide member 74 as will more fully appear from the detailed description below, effects the discharge of a twenty-five cent piece as a part of change to be returned; the slide 75 operates a turnstile to discharge the requisite number of tive cent pieces to be returned as change; and the slide 76 actuates a counter to indicate the number of fares paid. If there happens to be a twenty-five cent piece in the position b2 this will enable a further downward movement of the gauge 65 so that the plunger 71 will assume the position indicated at b3 illustrated in Fig. 12. See also Fig. 2. In this position only the slide members 75 and 76 are actuated for the purposes previously stated. It there is a five cent piece in the position indicated by c2 a still further downward movement of the slide member 65 is permitted, thus enabling the plunger 71 to assume the position of c3 indicated in Fig. 12, in which case only the slide member 76 is actuated to count the fare deposited, no change being returned in this case. It there is a ten cent piece in the machine in the position indicated at (Z2 then the gauge 65 is enabled to move still further causing the plunger 71 to assume the position indicated at (Z3 in F ig. 12. Then the plunger 71 is in the posit-ion indicated at c3, "determined by the five cent piece in the position c2, it will be opposite the cavity 77 in the slide 75, the depth of which is at least equal to the full stroke of the plunger 71, in consequence of which, no movement is imparted to the slide 75 with a result that no change is returned. When the plunger is in the position indicated at Z3 it will, toward the end of vits movement, engage with the projection 78 located upon the slide 75 and etl'ect a partial rotation of the turnstile to return tive cents in change. If no coin is deposited in the machine the gauge 65 is permitted to move downwardly still further, causing the plunger 71 to assume the position indicated at n in Fig. 12. `When the plunger 71 is in the position indicated at n neither the slide 75 nor 76 is operated and the machine will not register a fare or deliver change. It will, however, be understood that in all of the positions a3, b3, c3 and d3 a full stroke will be imparted to the slide 76 to enable the maximum number of fares collected to beregistered. It may be pointed out however, that the amount of change returned, if any, and the fares to be recorded are controlled by a manually actuated setting mechanism. The setting mechanism will be described in detail below.

The horizontally actuated arm 73 is provided with an upstanding member or rather framework 79 movable back and forth therewith. `One side of this framework is provided with two projections 80 and 81 both of which enter at different heights into the coin chute 34. The normal position of the framework is indicated in Fig. 1. The projection 80 serves to arrest the movement of the fifty, twenty-five and five cent pieces in the respective positions a2, b2, and c2, whereas the projection 81 serves to arrest the movement of the ten cent pieces at the position d2, it being understood that the projection 80 does not extend sufliciently far into the chute 34 to interfere with the movement of the ten cent piece past said projection to its position (Z2. It will therefore be apparent that when the slide 7 3 is moved to the left, as viewed from Fig. 1, a corresponding movement will be imparted to the extensions 8O and 81 with a result that a coin in any one of the positions a2, b2, c2 and d2, according .to its diameter, will be freed from itsengagei ment with the extensions 80 and 81, as the case may be, and thereby enabled to continue its downward movement into suitable chambers in the bottom of the machine. The opposite side of the framework 7 9 preferably enters the passageway 21 for the rejected coins or. rather slugs and is equipped with a plurality of arcuate shaped members 82, 83, 84 and 85 which serve in Vconjunction with the spring-pressed arms 86, 87, 88 and v89 in the Vpassageway 21 to arrest the rejected coins in their respective positions a', b', c, and d. The said arms'are rigidly secured to shafts 90, 91, 92 vand 93 respectively, suitably journaled in the front wall`10 of the housing and the wall of the passageway 21. 1 Also rigidly mounted upon the shafts Vjust mentioned are arms one ofthe ends 94, 95, 96 and 97' of which-normally engage with studs 98, 99, 100y and-101 and the other ends 102, 103, 104 and 105 of which are connected with springs 106, 107 108 and 109 for maintaining said arms in normal position, vthat is in contact with said studs. The ends 102, 103, 104 and 105 serve to actuate the fingers 110,111, 112

Y and 113 of the counters 114,115,116 and 117 to register the number of coins or rather slugs ejected from the machine. The counter may be supported by any convenient means, I

Y 22.` See Fig, 7.

The mechanism for imparting a downward movement to the gauge 65 and for restoring it to normal position wil-l nowbe described. The slide 49 is provided4 with a laterally pro- Y ecting lug 118 which engages upon its downward movement with the stud 119 projecting from a member 120 which is supported by and frictionally' movable upon the gauge 65. Theprojection 119 is not only located in the path, ofthe downward movementofthe projection 118 but is also in the path of the upward movement ofthe projection 121 also located uponl the'slide 49. Asrbefore stated the slide 49 is moved downwardly by means of the lever-52, and that it is automatically returned to normal position by means of the spring 51. Upon the downwardv movement of the slide 49 the'projectionk118 engages the Stud 119 and moves the gaugev 65 until the VYprojection 68. thereon contacts with thecoin located in. one of the three positions e1 b2 or `c2 or until the projection 69. engages withthe een 'gent coin located in position (Z2. It will .be notedthat only ya slight movement of the 'gauge 65 is necessitated to cause the projection 68 to engage and be arrested in its movement by a fifty cent piece located in the position a2. The continued downward movement of the slide 49 will thereafter have no other eect than to continue the movement of the frictionally held'member 120 independent of the gauge 65. Ifthe twenty-five cent piece is located in the position b2, or if a ve centpiece be located inthe position c2, or if a ten cent piece is inthe position cl2, the only difference in operation is that the distance through which the gauge 65 moves is successi'vely greater than what it moves to bring it in contact with the ifty cent pieceand that the movement of the member 120 relative to the gauge 65 correspondingly less. The gauge 65 and the Vfrictional member 120 will be returned to theirv relative normal positions as indicated in Fig. 1, by the engagement of the lug 121 with the stud 119 upon the return of the slide 49 to its normal position. It will therefore be readily apparent that the spring 51 not only serves to maintain the slide 49 but likewise the gauge 65 and the frictional member 120-in their respective normal positions. It will also be apparent from the foregoing that t-he gauge 65 vis only actuated after the slide has travelled a substantial distance downwardly, that is not until the stud'1'18 engages With the lug 119. The interval of time involved in this part of the travel ofthe slide is amply suicient for the operation, by said slide in the manner above described, of the gate member 42, and also amply suiiicient prior to the` initial movement of the gauge 65 to enable the coin deposited in one Yso roo

of the four positions a, b, c, d for eXamination to pass into one of the lfour, operative Vpositions a2, b2, c2, d2 after said gateimember L42 has been actuatedto release said coin.

The. horizontally movable arm 73 is actuated by the operating crank preferably including among other things the lever 122 (.see Figs. 1 and 6) acting upon one arm 123 of a bell crank lever, the other arm 124 of which engages 'with an upstanding lugY 125 on the said arm 73. The latter is limited in its to and fr o movement by means of set screws 126 which pass through the slots V127 in said arm. This mechanism just described is clearly' illustrated on Fig. 1. It has heretofore been stated that the five cent pieces Y Mounted upon a pintle 131 and adapted to oscillate therewith is a deliector 132 normally in the position indicated in Fig. 6. `The pintle 131 is equipped with an arm 133 (see Fig. 18) located in the path of movement of the member 128. If there is a fifty or a twenty-live cent piece in the position a2 or b2 the downward movement of the gauge is not suflicient to bring the member 128 into contact with the arm 133 of the deliector 132. However, if there is deposited a live cent piece in the position c2 the pivoted member 128 will come into contact with the arm 133 and oseillate the deflector to the position illust-rated in Fig. 18 across the coin way 34. This causes these particular coins to be deflected from the coin-way 34 into the nickel hopper 134. (See Figs. 4 and 6.) This explains in the embodiment of my invention illustrated and described herein, the necessity of so constructing the parts as will enable the operative position of the ten cent pieces to be located beyond the deflector 132; that is to say if it were located at the points a2, b2 and c2 the ten cent pieces'would likewise be discharged by the deiiector into the hopper 134. The cooperative relation of the coin-way 34 anddeflector 132, as well as their construction, is clearly illustrated in Figs. 1, 6, 18 and 19; hence no further description is thought to be necessary, except to say that the deflector is preferably held in and returned to normal position by gravity.

The mechanism for actuating levers 52 and 122 will now be described. Referring now to Figs. 4 and 6, it will be noted that the side 12 of the machine is equipped with a boss 135 which constitutes a bearing for the crank shaft 136 upon one end of which is securely mounted an operating crank 137. Upon the opposite end of the crank shaft 136 is fixed a plate 138 which carries two paWls 139 (see Fig. 6) which are adapted to engage the internal teeth 140 of the gear 141 to rotate the latter. The gear 141 is also provided with peripheral or external teeth 142 which engage with a pinion 143 mounted upon the sleeve 144 of the rotating drum 145 which sleeve revolves around the stud shaft 146 as a center. The sleeve pinion 143 in turn meshes with a gear 147 mounted to rotate upon the stub shaft 148. Suitably secured to this gear 147 are two cams 149 and '150. Upon the rotation of the crank 137 the cam 149 actuates the lever 52 to reciprocate the slide 49 as previously described whereas the cam 150 actuates the lever 122 to reciprocate the horizontal slide 73 as described above. The contours of the cams are such that the slide 49 is first moved downwardly to bring the projection 68 of the gauge 65vin contact with the particular coin in one of the three positions 112,52, c2; or the projection 69 of the gauge in contact with the ten cent piece at position d2, or still further in case no coin ner before stated the lever 122 is then actuated by the cam 150 to impart a movement to the left, as viewed in 1, of the horizon tal slide 73 to perform the operations previously described.

The nickel hopper 134, previously referred to, is suitably supported, as by legs 151, from the platform 17. See Fig. 6. Vithin this hopper is adjustably mounted a tube 152 provided with a truncated cone 153 which truncated cone projects within the drum 145. itially the hopper 134, as well as the tube 152 is provided with a supply of live cent pieces. As fast as the live cent pieces are discharged from the lower end of the tube 152 they are replenished by the drum 145 from the hopper 134 in the following manner. Projecting inwardly from the periphery of the drum is a plurality of studs 154 which pick up the nickels in the lower end of the hopper 134 and deposit the same within the truncated cone 153 from which they slide by gravity into the tube 152 where they' are automatically stacked. It will be remembered that mechanism is provided in the machine which will direct all live cent pieces deposited by the passengers into the hopper 134. Of course, it will be apparent that when the tube 152 has been filled with coins any additional coins deposited by the drum 145 into the truncated conical portion 153 will merely overflow the tube and be discharged again into the hopper 134, in consequence of which it will be noted, as a matter of fact, that except under very abnormal conditions the tube 152 will always be full of nickels. The tube 152 is vertically adjustable by means, for example, of a set screw 155. See Fig. 4.

Mention has been previously made to mechanism for collecting the desire-d amount of fare from any coin that happens to be deposited into the machine. Of course, if a five cent piece is deposited no change will be returned. The mechanism for controlling the fares collected is illustrated more particularly in Figs. 8, 9 and 11. Upon the shaft 156 is fixed a lever 157 for manually actuating the same. This lever projects through a slot in the top of the casing and is provided with an operating handle 158 and a pointer 159 which moves over a sector 160 having indicia thereon for indicating the number of fares to be collected. The particular machine illustrated and described collects from the coins deposited a maximum of five fares. Consequently, the sector is provided with the numerals 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 indicating the positions to which the lever 157 should be moved to collect the corresponding number of fares. The end of the lever 157 opposite the end upon which the handle 158 is mountedfis provided 'iis e laterally from the lever 163.

witha ratchet 161 adapted to engage with a pawl 162 located upon the lever 163. This pawl 162 upon the lever 163 is maintained in Contact with the ratchet'161 by means ofthe spring 164 as clearly illustrated in Fig.V 8. From this construction it will be seen that upon moving the lever 157 in a clockwise direction the pawl 162 will engage the successive teeth of the ratchet 161 and maintain the said lever 157 in the position to which it is moved. If, by accident, the' lever 157 has been moved too far it can be restored to its initial position by pressing downwardly upon the spring pressed error key 165 in the path of the lower end of which is a pin 166 extending The downward mvement therefore ofthe plunger 165 will impart a movement to the lever 163 about its pivotal pointV bringing the pawl 162 out of contact with the teeth on the ratchet 161 after which thejlever 157 will automatically restore itself to normal position by means of the spring 167.

vRotatalolymounted upon a shaft 168 is a ratchet gear 169 to which is concentrically fixed a gear 170 meshing with a pinion 171 mounted upon a suitable counter 172 (see Fig. Also mounted uponthe shaft 168 isfa member 173 rovided with a shield 174 thereon overlapping a peripheral portion of the ratchet 169. This member 17 3 is movable to di'erent positions upon the manipulation of the lever 157 to bring the shield 174 into different relative positions about the peripheryY of the ratchet gear. The member 173 is operatively connected to the lever 157 by means of a link 175. The slide member (see Figs. 1, 8 and 11) engages with one arm 176 of a bell crank lever, the other arm 177 of which engages with the arm 178 of another Abell crank lever, the other karm 179 of which is connected by means of a link 180 with the member 181 pivotally connected to the shaft 168 previously described. These parts just described arerheld in normal position by held out of contact with the ratchet 169 by means of the shield 174 upon the peripheral surface of which it rides. The construction and relative position of these parts are such that when the lever 157 is in the position shown in Fig. 8 the pawl 186 during the movement of the member 181fby means of the horizontal slide 75 will only engageV a tooth of the ratchet 169 upon the last portion of the movement of said horizontal slide 75 so as to indicate on the register 17 2 lthe payment of one fare. If the lever 157 be moved to any of the positions 2, 3, 4 and 5 on the sector 160 a corresponding movement of the shield 17 4 is eected so as to enablean earlier engagement of the pawl 186 with the ratchet 169 and thereby enable the payment of two, three, four or live fares, as the case may be,

to be registered by theregister 172. Pivoted about the center 187 is an arm 188 normally held by a spring 189 in contactwith a stop 190 which arm 188 is normally in contact with the lever 163. 'Pivoted about the same center 187 is a snap lever 191 one end of which normally rests against the pin 192 projecting laterally from the arm 188. This pawl 191 is normally heldV against the 'pin 192 by means of the spring 189. VThe other end of the snap lever 191 is located in the path of a pin 193 projectinglaterally from the link 180. It will therefore be seen that upon the downward movement of the link 180 the pin 193 will cam the lever 191 out of its path and move to the lower side thereof without eiecting in any weise the operation yof the lever 188. Upon the return movement, however, of the link 180 the pin 193 will engage with the lower side'of the snap lever 191 and move the same upwardly and thereby the arm 188 downwardly. The downward movement of the arm 188 imparts a corresponding downward movement to the lever 163 thus releasing the pawl 162 from the ratchet 161 to enable the automatic return of the lever 157 to normal position. It will, of course,

vbe understood that the pawl186is spring pressed in order to maintain the same in conf stant engagement with either the ratchet 169 or the shield 174.

From the foregoing, it will be seen that mechanism is provided for registering the fares collected bythe machine, the same being controlled by the lever 157. Y

Upon reiiection, it will be readily apparent that the amount of change to be returned must be controlled in strict accordance with the fares collected. It will be remembered that the horizontal slide 75 is for the purpose of .actuating mechanism to discharge the change coins. This mechanism includes a ratchet wheel 194 l(see Fig. 11) rotatably mounted upon a stub shaft 195. Upon this shaft is also rotatably mounted a member 196 provided with a shield 197 which overlaps a portion of the peripheral portion of the ratchet 194 and which is similar to the shield 173 illustrated in Fig. 8. Like theshield 173 this shield 197 prevents the ratchet 194 from. being actuated through pawl mechanism (to be described later) except at predetermined intervals. The mechanism for adjusting the member 196 in proper position to control the amount of change to be returned comprises an arm 198 (see Fig. 6) fixed to the shaft 156. Pivotally connected to the .arm 198 is one end of a link 199 the other end of this link being pivotally connected to the arm 200 of a bell 'crank lever, the other arm 201 of which engages with the arm 202 (see Figs. 6

and 11) of a second bell crank lever, the other arm 203 of which is connected to the member 196 upon which the shield 197 is mounted by means of a link 204. From what has been just stated, it will be clearly apparent Vthat a movement of the lever 157 to properly position the shield 173 simultaneously and correspondingly positions the shield V197. The net result of this is that each time the shield 173 is positioned to control the movement of the fare register, the shield 197 will be properly positioned to simultaneously control the amount of change to be returned to the passenger.

The mechanism for returning change will now be described. The slide member (see for example Fig. 11) is provided with a laterally projecting member 205 provided with an open slot 206 in the end thereof. This slotted or forked member is in permanent engagement with the stud 207 projecting upwardly from the carrier 208. The reciprocating movement of the member 75, and therefore of the member 205 determines the throw of the carrier 208 around the shaft 195 as an axis of oscillation. Upon the extremity of the carrier 208 is mounted a spring pressed pawl 209 adapted to engage with the teeth 'of the ratchet 194 previously described. lts engagement with the ratchet, as previously stated, is determined by the position of the shield 197 upon the member 196. Fixed to rotate with the ratchet gear 194 (see Figs. 11 and 12), upon the actuation ofthe slide 75 is a gear wheel 210 which meshes with a pinion 211 on the shaft 212. `Fixed to the pinion is a star wheel 213 provided with prongs 214, 215, 216 and 217. The five cent coin receptacle 152 (see Figs. 4 and 12) is spaced from the platform 17 a sufficient distance t-o enable'the arms of the star wheel to pass between said tube and the platform.

The coin tube 152 is spaced suiciently from the `platform 17 to enable the lowermost coin thereinto be ejected therefrom into the chute 18 but is close enough to prevent the succeeding coin from being ejected. However, the

succeeding coin will drop on the platform 17 j as soon as the particular arm of the star wheel passes from under said tube. This construction and relative arrangement of the parts is clearly illustrated in Fig. 12. The size of the gear 210 with respect to the pinion 211 is such that the movement of the ratchet 194 for an angular distance of one tooth there-on will impart a one quarter revoluton to the pinion 211 from which it will be readily apparent that only one coin will be ejected from the tube 152. It will also be understood that if the controlling mechanism is so positioned that the pawl 209 will move the ratchet gear 194 through an angular distance of two teeth thereon two coins will be ejected, and so on. A casual study ofthe mechanism will clearly reveal that the maximum throw of the carrier 208 will through the pawl 209 move the ratchet 194 through an angular distance of four teeth with a result that four coins will be ejected by the star wheel 213 from the lower end of the tube 152.

As previously stated the operation of the slide member 71 (see Fig. 11) is for the purpose of ej ecting a twenty-five cent piece from the lower end of the coin tube 218. To that there is attached to the slide. 711 a member 219 provided with two guide slots 220 therein through which the guide pins 221 project. These pins 221 serve to guide the forward movement of the member 219 upon the forward movement of the slide 7 4- effected by the plunger 71 as previously described and to guide said member 219 on its ret-urn movement which is effected by means of the spring 182. The member 219 is provided with a laterally projecting arm or yoke 222 which passes under the twenty-live cent coin tube 218, so that when the member 219 is moved forwardly for a predetermined distance a coin will be ejected from the tube 218 into the coin chute 18 whence it will pass to the receptacle The spring 182, as before stated, is employed t-o return the slide 74 back to normal position and this, of course, restores the fork 205 and therefore the carrier member208 and pawl 209 also to their normal positions ready for the next operation of the machine.

In Figs. 20 and 21, I have illustrated the necessary changes to be made that the machine may be employed only for the purpose of making change. To this end the lever 157 is provided with an additional ratchet tooth on the ratchetlil whereby 'the normal position of the lever 157 will be such as to preclude the operation of the counter 172 and also more the member 196 to return an additional tive cent piece. And it will be readily apparent that the normal position of the arm 157 may be made at any point along the sectermined number of fares from said coin by l Aa mere actuation of the operating handle 137.

It will also be readily apparent, irrespective of the hole in which the removable stop 223 is located, that the arm 157 in effect is set by said stop to what .l shall call, for the want of a better name, a normal fixed position and is adapted to be variously positioned in advance of said stop to another or adjusted fixed position whereby to collect a predetermined ino number of fares in excess of that which the machine is fset-by means of the stop 223, to normally collect. f

F rom the foregoing it will beseen that in the improved machine the coins in ythe chute ,are fedfsuccessively into operative position iiected by the actuationv of the main operating crank ofthe machine; that coins deposited may i-n turn be employed for vchange making; that 'the-device as a whole is of very Y compact form', that the construction is simple, cheap yto manufacture, and not 'liable to lget out of order; that all possi-ble danger ot the machine being prematurely operated is avoided; and that the invention is adapted to be 4en'nployed :generally with change-making machines. It will thereiorebe seen that the Idevice is lparticularly desirable and advantageous vin the expeditious handling of a large number ot passengers, thus av-oiding kcongestion about the machine andthe inevitable delay lincident thereto.
